Hi Paul, The attached message doesn't give the link you might be after, which is http://research.microsoft.com/projects/fsharp. You might also be interested in SML.NET.
Re Haskell.NET... We (OK, basically just me) got a fair amount of the way through a .NET backend for GHC, including a fully working compiler, but we got sidetracked into implementation issues that weren't related what we wanted to achieve in the first instance. In particular, (a) GHC is a complex beast, (b) you have to decide what to do about the libraries and (c) I wanted a much "lighter" end system than GHC was going to provide. Given the general complexity of GHC, the longish compile times and the reliance of the GHC library implementation on C and C libraries in so many places I decided to implement a simpler language from scratch. I like the idea that a .NET compiler should be under 10K lines of code if at all possible, as is the case for F#. Those of us at MSR have no particular plans to push further on Haskell.NET right now, but I know a number of other people have talked about taking a crack at it. Best wishes, Don Syme MSR Cambridge -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hudak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 30 May 2002 14:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Fwd: F#] Hey Simon et al at Micro$oft, when will there be an H#?
